I've heard of left wing lock but never looked it up. I found roster resource a few months ago. At the time I lurked how they were very quick on updating to account for injuries, suspensions and call-ups.

Taking a look at left wing lock, Pyatt spent a little time with Kelly, and looking at the 3 and 5 game risks it looks like he is spending increasingly more time with Pageau. So, working his way up from the 4th line. Good site.

Still maintain that both are best suited to 4th line roles right now, and we'd be a better team with only one of them in the lineup at any given time (or maybe if we were a better team we'd only have one of them in the lineup). Entering the playoffs, assuming only one is playing and on the 4th line, is still go with Kelly for the experience and versatility, but Pyatt would be right there ready to jump in.

Really? A guy that hasn't hit the 20 goal plateau more than once and that in his first season in the NHL?

I'd rather pay a big price to get a much better winger. I've had enough of just looking to trade for average. We need a star on the wing or someone very close to it.

He's so good though...like a Mark Stone with slightly lesser production. Love this player.

But we need slightly more production. We need a guy that can either bring between 20 and 30 goals and then some other intangibles. Lando, duchenes are good examples. Probably would do much better in Ottawa too compared to where they are.

They'll cost a lot more. I dunno, adding Palat would be a massive thing.

Yup. But maybe that's where we are at.

Look at that production though. 59 points, 63, pro-rated 53. This is Mark Stone all over again - and also, hitting 60 points is the new 80 IMO, not many players can really do it anymore. I'd be surprised if there was 25 players in the whole league last year that hit 60 points.

He's close to Landeskog production-wise, all that's separating him are slightly more goal production.

Duchene is where it's at if we don't want Palat, but man...Palat is great.

I look at how well palat did on a team that had some fairly good level of success and then Landon and duch and think there's a much better deal there. Not that I wouldn't take palat but Ceci + ? I don't know about that.
